Dry dock system question on use

[bassfishing101]

Hello, I have my very first new bug. 2022 ZX200. So, 2 questions. ...
First, I picked it up March 5th. The shipping cover was left on until my custom cover arrived. I hadn't taken the shipping cover off until last night ( April 13th) everything was dry but there was condensation in the battery compartment and lid. Is that normal due to temperature change?

Second... I just put the custom cover after I came back from my first 5 hours of breaking in the Yamaha. Can I leave the power on and the dry dock system on while leaving the charger plugged in? Is it safe to leave it like that for until I get back from work tomorrow? And lastly, will it also take care of condensation in the battery compartment? I apologize if any of these are dumb questions, this is a first for me.
Thank you all in advance.

I just picked up the same boat in color option 4. My dealer told me I can run the dry dock as long as battery charger is hooked up. It will run for 15 minutes then cycle off and on every 15-30 minutes I believe

This is cool info, did not realize. Will definitely try this out next time I am charging...

Random question
did you get a skeeter throwable pfd with your boat ? I thought they came with one which h I didn’t get so I was curious

not definite,but i dont think there is a vent in the battery compartment, could be wrong

i did not get a throwable pfd with my boat. if im not mistaken, that may be a dealer perk because ive seen where Foothills marine does give you one with the purchase.

just an update, i plugged my onboard charger, left the power on and left the dry dock system on. it works as advertised. 15 min on and about 30 min off. also, the bilge area was dry and i had no issues with condensation on the lids ( including battery compartment)

Great news.
